How to Disable Search Suggestions on Every Major Browser

Want to disable those annoying search suggestions that pop up in your browser? Here's how you can do that in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Brave.

When typing the query in the search bar, most browsers attempt to predict what you are going to type and offer you suggestions. The feature is known as auto-complete or search suggestions.

Even though it's convenient to see such predictions and select from them to save time, you may also find them annoying (more often than not). If that's the case, almost all browsers let you turn off this feature.

We'll cover how to turn off search suggestions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Brave.

Benefits of Turning Off the Search Suggestions

The following are some benefits of turning off search suggestions:

  • It keeps your focus on what you initially came to the browser to find.
  • To make your search experience as clean as possible, it removes all the distractions.
  • You won't waste time procrastinating and looking at search results you didn't intend to see.
  • When using keywords research tools such as keywords everywhere, you will save your credits from going through unrelated search queries.

Let's explore how you can disable the search suggestions across different browsers.

Though useful, it may create annoyance and privacy problems when sharing devices with others. Fortunately, it is easy to disable AutoFill in Safari Mac. In addition to AutoFill, there are also search suggestions to show automatic results when you use the address bar (called Smart Search Field). You can disable this feature as well if that disturbs you.

Using Form Autofill or Autocomplete in Your Web Browser

Fill those blanks with a simple click

In This Article

Jump to a Section

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Apple Safari on macOS

Most web browsers can store data you're repeatedly asked to provide on websites. Such information includes usernames, passwords, credit cards, and the like. Commonly known as autocomplete or autofill, this feature gives your tired fingers a reprieve and speeds up the form completion process considerably. Each application handles autocomplete/autofill differently. The step-by-step tutorials below show you how to use this functionality in the web browser of your choice.

How to Use Autofill in Google Chrome

If you use Chrome on Chrome OS , Linux ,  macOS,  or Windows , it's easy to access and edit the personal information used in autofill. Here's how to do it:

Open Chrome and click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.

Select either Payment options or Addresses and more to see the information autocomplete is currently using.

Toggle the Save and fill addresses or Save and fill passwords switch depending on whether or not you want to use autocomplete.

Below that, you can see the addresses and payment options already stored in Chrome. Click the More actions icon (the three vertical dots next to an entry) to edit or remove one.

If you choose to edit, a pop-up window appears containing the following editable fields: Name, Organization, Street address, City, State, Zip code, Country/Region, Phone, and Email. Once you are satisfied with the information shown, click on the Save button to return to the previous screen.

If you want to edit a payment method, you need to use Google Pay .

To manually add a new address or payment method, click on the Add button and fill in the fields provided. Click on the Save button to store this data when you're finished.

Any payment methods you add to Chrome manually are only saved on the device you add them on.

How to Use Autocomplete in Android

Google's Chrome web browser can fill out forms automatically with saved info like your home address and email. It might ask you if you want to save your data the first time you enter it into a form online, but if it doesn't you can add, edit, or delete your info manually. Here's how.

Open the Chrome app on your Android phone.

Tap the main menu button, located in the upper right-hand corner, and represented by three horizontally-aligned dots .

Tap Settings > Addresses and more or Payment methods .

From here, you can add, edit, or delete your personal information. Tapping on an address or credit card allows you to modify the data associated with it, including your name, country/region, street address, zip code, and more. Once you're satisfied with the changes, tap Done to save them and return to the previous screen. Tap the trash can icon to delete the info entirely.

To add a new address or payment method, tap Add address or Add card . Enter the desired details in the fields provided and select DONE when complete.

How to Use Autofill in Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox on Linux, Mac, and Windows automatically saves and fills in your login information by default. Here's what you need to do if you don't want this feature turned on, or if you want to edit or remove the stored information.

Type the following text into Firefox's address bar: about:preferences#privacy .

Firefox's Privacy preferences should now be visible in the active tab. Under the History section is an option labeled Firefox will: accompanied by a drop-down menu. Click on this menu and select Use custom settings for history .

Several new options are now displayed, each with its own checkbox. To stop Firefox from saving most of the information you enter into web forms, remove the checkmark next to the option labeled Remember search and form history . This also disables search history from being stored.

To delete any data previously stored by the Auto Form Fill feature, select Clear History . A dialog box should open. At the top is an option labeled Time range to clear , where you can choose to delete data from a specific time period. You can also remove all data by selecting the Everything option from the drop-down menu.

Located below the time range settings are several options accompanied by checkboxes. Each data component that has a checkmark next to it will be deleted, while those without one remain untouched. To clear saved form data from the specified interval, place a checkmark next to Form & Search History if one doesn't already exist. Select OK when ready to delete the specified information.

Before moving forward you should ensure only the data components you wish to delete are selected.

In addition to form-related data such as addresses and phone numbers, Firefox also provides the ability to save and later prepopulate usernames and passwords for websites that require authentication. To access the settings related to this functionality, go back to the about:preferences#privacy page.

Go to the Logins and passwords section. Autofill logins and passwords is checked by default. When active, this setting instructs Firefox to store login credentials for autofill purposes. Remove the checkmark to disable it if you don't want to use it.

TheĀ  Exceptions Ā button in this section opens a list sites where usernames and passwords aren't stored even when the feature is enabled. These exceptions are created whenever Firefox prompts you to store a password and you choose the option labeledĀ  Never for this site . Exceptions can be removed from the list via theĀ  Remove Website Ā orĀ  Remove All Websites Ā buttons.

The Saved Logins button lists all of the credentials previously stored by Firefox. Details shown with each set include the corresponding URL , the username, the date and time it was last used, as well as the date and time it was most recently modified.

For security purposes, the passwords themselves are not shown by default. To view your saved passwords in clear text, click on the Show Passwords button. Values found in both the Username and Password columns are editable; just double-click on the respective field and enter the new text.

To delete an individual set of credentials, select it by clicking on it once. Next, click on the Remove button. To delete all saved usernames and passwords, click on the Remove All button.

Select the Create New Login button to manually enter credentials for a website.

How to Use Autocomplete in Microsoft Edge

Edge asks if you want to save your card information whenever you make a purchase so you don't have to remember the information each time you buy something. It also remembers addresses. Here's how to modify autocomplete settings in the Windows browser.

Open Edge and select the Settings and more icon (the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner), then select Settings .

Choose either Payment info or Addresses and more depending on which information you want to modify.

Slide the toggle on or off to enable or disable autocomplete.

Click the Add Address or Add Card button to manually enter new information.

Select the More icon next to an address or card to edit or remove its associated information.

How to Use Autofill in Apple Safari on macOS

Although they're all owned by Apple, managing autofill settings is different on a Mac than it is on an iPhone or iPad. Here's how to do it on the former.

Click on Safari in your browser menu, located at the top of the screen. When the drop-down menu appears, select the Preferences option.

You can also use the following keyboard shortcut in place of this menu item: COMMAND + COMMA ( , ).

Click the Autofill icon.

The following four options are offered here, each accompanied by a checkbox and Edit button.

  • Using info from my Contacts card : Utilizes personal details from the operating system's Contacts app.
  • User names and passwords : Stores and retrieves names and passwords needed for website authentication.
  • Credit cards : Allows Autofill to save and populate credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes.
  • Other forms : Encompasses other common information requested in web forms that are not included in the above categories.

When a checkmark appears next to a category type, that information is used by Safari when auto-populating web forms. To add/remove a checkmark, simply click on it once.

To add, view, or modify information to one of the above categories, click on the Edit button.

Choosing to edit the information from your Contacts card opens the Contacts app. Meanwhile, editing names and passwords loads the Passwords preferences interface, where you can view, modify, or delete user credentials for individual sites. Clicking on the Edit button for credit cards or other form data causes a slide-out panel to appear, displaying relevant information that's saved for Autofill purposes.

How to Use Autofill in iOS

Follow the below steps to manage your autofill settings and information on an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad:

Tap Settings > Safari .

Tap Autofill , which is located under the General heading.

Here you see options for both contact info and credit cards. Slide the toggles to the off position if you don't want Safari to use this information.

Safari uses the information stored in Contacts for its autofill settings. If you tap on My Info , it brings up your contacts list. You can choose to use another contact if you wish. If you want to edit your contact info, you need to do that in the Contacts app .

If you tap on Saved Credit Cards , you can choose to add a card to your autofill settings or delete one.

Edit address of autocomplete suggestions in Safari 8

When you start typing in Safari's "omnibar" you get suggestions based on search results and your bookmarks and history. I often find myself needing to change a small portion of the suggested url; say for instance that the suggested address is http://foo.com/bar whereas I want to go directly to http://foo.com .

Is there a way to edit the suggested address in place before hitting enter?

  • Right arrow will take it to the end of the suggestion as an editable field, you could backspace from there. Also works even if you've down arrow stepped to another suggestion. –  Tetsujin Jul 5, 2015 at 16:27
  • @Tetsujin that allows for editing the search query, if you like. I want to edit the url. –  Milo Wielondek Jul 5, 2015 at 17:00
  • ? That's exactly what that does, it fills the current autosuggest as an editable URL, rather than going to it. If I want foo.com & the only autosuggest is foo.com/bar, then right arrow fills foo.com/bar as editable text, cursor at the end & I can then backspace/delete the /bar –  Tetsujin Jul 5, 2015 at 17:11
  • @Tetsujin the problem is that the suggestions appear as titles of given webpage, not the url. So if I foo.com/bar is in your history then when you start typing in foo you get Foo Industries, Inc. if that happens to be its title. Then when you press the right arrow and backspace from there, as you say, it lets you edit the search query and not the url, i.e. Foo Industries, Inc instead of http://foo.com/bar . At least on Safari 8.0.7 on Yosemite. –  Milo Wielondek Jul 5, 2015 at 18:15
  • 2 @Tetsujin I figured out there are actually two different cases here. One is when the autocompleted suggestion is an url, the other when it's a title. In the first scenario you can indeed "right-arrow" to edit the url, whereas in the second scenario you can't. E.g. try typing superuser.com and you'll get a editable url, but if you start typing edit address of autocomplete you should get the autocompleted title of this question instead of the url.. –  Milo Wielondek Jul 5, 2015 at 19:23

How to disable and edit safariā€™s autofill on macos and ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more.

Quick Links

Editing or disabling autofill on safari forĀ macos, editing or disabling autofill on safari for ios.

Safari's AutoFill will automatically complete information for contacts, passwords, credit cards and more. Today we're going to discuss how to turn off or edit those AutoFill entriesĀ onĀ macOS and iOS.

Whenever any form data is autofilled, Safari highlights them in yellow.

To turn off any or all AutoFill forms in Safari on macOS, first open Safari's preferences from the Safari menu or pressĀ Command+,Ā on your keyboard.

In Safari's preferences, click the AutoFill tab You'll see a list of the things Safari can autofill.

Uncheck any items you don't want Safari autofilling, or click "Edit" next to any of the four items to changeĀ the actual data Safari has saved. This includes:

  • Using info from my contacts :Ā When you start typing any personal information about you, or any other person in your Contacts, into a form (name, address, phone number, etc.), Safari will autofill the blanks.
  • User names and passwords : Clicking "Edit" will simply switch to the Passwords tab, which will let you amend any of your login information contained therein.
  • Credit cards : This will open a credit card dialog allowing you add or remove payment information. Double-click on an entry to update a credit card's information including the cardholder's name, card number, and expiration date. Before you can edit any sensitive data, you will have to enter your system password.
  • Other forms :Ā Click the other forms "Edit" button to edit or remove any or allĀ form data you have saved for a particular website.Ā This is particularly useful if you frequently visit a website with forms you need to fill in time after time with the same information.

Safari on iOS can also fill in form data automatically. To access the AutoFill settingsĀ on iOS, open the Settings and tap "Safari".

Next, scroll down to the General options and tap "AutoFill".

In iOS, the options are slightly different than on macOS. You can still turn off your contact information, names and passwords, and credit cards, but there is no option for other forms.

The My Info option will let you choose another contact to use as your device's main contact, or again, you can edit your own contact information so it is up to date.

You can also view, add, remove, and edit any saved credit cards.

You may have noticed, in the previous screenshot, that there isn't any obvious way to editĀ saved login information. To fix any stored usernames and passwords, tap back to the Safari settings, and then tap "Passwords" right above the AutoFill settings.

Keep in mind that AutoFill will automatically populate any forms on your devices, regardless of who is using them. Thus, you should only lend your devices to people you trust, or simply turn off AutoFill if someone else is going to be using your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.

One final note: user login details and credit cards are stored in your iCloud Keychain ( unless they're not set up to sync to iCloud ), so when you add, delete, or edit either of these items on any one device connected to your iCloud account, the information will be populated to your other devices.

That's really all there is to it. Safari's AutoFill settings are simple enough to understand. Now, if you no longer want certain information to automatically populate forms, you can turn it off. Similarly, if the information is incorrect, you can fix it.

How to enable and disable autofill in a browser

Internet browsers

This page explains how to enable autofill , a browser feature that automatically populates forms with saved data, such as those that ask for shipping or billing information.

To enable or disable the autofill feature, select your browser from the list below and follow the steps.

Autocomplete , which is another browser feature, is similar, but not the same as autofill. It gives you suggestions as you type in the address bar or search box. To learn how to adjust those settings, see: How to enable or disable autocomplete in a web browser.

If you are enabling autofill for the first time, you must manually enter text into a form to "teach" autofill what to automatically enter the next time. Alternatively, you can add and edit the information yourself. See: How to add, change, or clear autofill data.

Not all forms on the Internet support the autofill feature. Some web pages disable autofill, so you have to manually enter text into a form each time.

Microsoft Edge

Safari to get an AI boost in iOS 18, macOS 15 with smarter search, web page ā€˜eraserā€™

Roman Loyola

Much of the noise being made about Apple’s efforts into AI has been focused on general improvements to iOS 18 and Siri as well as the upcoming M4 chip for the Mac. However, as we get closer to WWDC, more reports about the AI software that Apple will create are coming out, with the most recent one covering Apple’s efforts to enhance the next major version of Safari.

AppleInsider reports that the company is working on a new “Intelligent Search” feature that uses on-device AI to summarize a web page. The language learning model that Apple has developed can identify key phrases and topics that give an idea of what a web page’s content is about and create a summary for the user.

Other features that Apple is working on include:

  • A Web Eraser that gives users the option to remove parts of a web page. This includes ads, text, and images. Safari will remember the parts that have been removed when the page is closed, and if the page is revisited, Safari alerts the user that the page has been modified.
  • A new page controls menu that appears in the address bar. This menu essentially collects user controls that are spread throughout Safari (text size, zoom, Reader mode, Privacy Report, and more).
  • An AI enhancement to Visual Lookup that gives users product information. This feature could also be implemented system-wide, not just in Safari.

Apple plans to implement the new Safari 18 features in both iOS 18 and macOS 15, which will be announced at WWDC24 on June 10. The report claims some features, such as the AI Visual Lookup, may not be available until 2025. That tracks with previous rumors that have suggested AI features will be rolled out in waves. AppleInsider also reported recently on Apple’s plans to update the Notes and Calculator apps.

Apple to unveil AI-enabled Safari browser alongside new operating systems

Marko Zivkovic's Avatar

Safari getting new AI tools in iOS 18

safari autocomplete search bar

The software — expected to debut as Safari 18 later in 2024 — is currently undergoing evaluation alongside internal builds of Apple's next-generation operating system updates, namely iOS 18 and macOS 15, according to people familiar with the matter. Should all of the new features make it to the release candidate stage, users will be treated to a new user interface (UI) for customizing popular page controls, a "Web eraser" feature, and AI-driven content summarization tools.

Intelligent Search - AI-enhanced browsing and text summarization

Engineers evaluating the latest builds of Safari 18 can find a toggle for the new page controls menu within the browser's address bar. The menu consolidates — and provides quick access to — old and new page control tools, among them being the browser's new "Intelligent Search" feature.

A screenshot of Arc Search on iPhone with a summary of an article from AppleInsider

This feature is not automatically enabled in test builds of Safari 18 and instead requires manual activation from the page controls menu. Once enabled, it's believed the tool leverages Apple's on-device AI technology — specifically the Ajax language-learning model — to identify topics and key phrases within a webpage for which to base the summarization.

In selecting key phrases, Apple's LLM software identifies sentences that provide explanations or describe the structure of objects, depending on the text in question. Words repeated within a text and key sentences are recognized as text topics.

These early indications suggest Apple is striving to deliver text summarization alongside Safari 18 later this year, though the exact implementation of this feature remains fuzzy.

Apple's text summarization features could be a response to rival generative AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. But Apple's on-device models and technologies like Private Relay could make the experience much more secure for users. Intelligent Search is also likely to be the same AI browser assistant that one X user hinted at a couple of weeks back.

Web Eraser for better content-blocking

Also accessible from the new page controls menu is a feature Apple is testing called "Web Eraser." As its name would imply, it's designed to allow users to remove, or erase, specific portions of web pages, according to people familiar with the feature.

The feature is expected to build upon existing privacy features within Safari and will allow users to erase unwanted content from any webpage of their choosing. Users will have the option to erase banner ads, images, text or even entire page sections, all with relative ease.

The erasure is said to be persistent, rather than limited to a browsing session. This means that Safari will remember the changes even after the original tab or window has been closed.

When visiting a web page with previously erased content, Safari will inform the user that the page has been modified to reflect their desired changes. The browser will also give the user the option to revert changes and restore the webpage to its initial, unaltered state.

As for where Apple got the inspiration for Web Eraser, the company could have Sherlocked the feature from the third-party app 1Blocker. The application features a similar way of erasing ads, where users would tap ads to make them disappear.

Updated UI will move key tools into one easy location

The new page controls menu referenced throughout this article will attempt to offer Safari 18 users quick and easy access to several options previously located across different menus and the Share Sheet. Running on pre-release versions of macOS 15, for instance, the menu also pulls in the "Aa" menu common on existing iPadOS versions of the browser. These include zoom options, webpage settings for privacy controls, content blocking options, extension shortcuts, and access to the new AI and erasure tools.

These various options existed previously on macOS, but were found by navigating through the Safari settings menu. Having all of these controls in one central location in the Address Bar will make these options more discoverable for end users. Other options like on-page text search and reader mode are also in this menu.

This all suggests Apple intends to unite the iPadOS and macOS Safari UI paradigms when it unveils its new OS releases during its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

AI-enhanced Visual Lookup feature could be available in 2025

Simultaneously, Apple is also working on a much more powerful visual search feature scheduled for integration sometime in 2025 that will allow users to obtain information on consumer products when browsing through images. People familiar with the tool say it's similar to the Visual Lookup feature, through which Siri can identify plants, pets and landmarks from photos.

Visual Search could be implemented as a system-wide feature. So, instead of surfacing search results in the Photos app, the user may be able to use Visual Search directly in Safari by selecting an image.

Given development of this tool is in the earlier stages, it remains unclear how Apple will ultimately go about implementing it. It also remains to be seen whether or not the feature will make it through internal testing.

The iPhone maker has expressed significant interest in artificial intelligence and more recently published research related to on-device language learning models. This goes hand in hand with widespread rumors about several other AI-powered software features, many of which are expected to make their debut later this year with iOS 18.

Another big year for Safari

From its inception, Safari was always meant to rival existing web browsers.

Safari was originally added to macOS as a means of replacing Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Mac, which was the default browser. Over the years, the app made its way to the iPhone , and has since received various upgrades over the years.

More recent versions of Safari provide users with personalized web suggestions, and allow for greater privacy protection with features such as iCloud Private Relay.

This latest set of enhancements only serves to better position Safari against the competition, in an ever-increasing landscape of generative AI tools and third-party ad-blockers.

While Apple tests many such features during different development stages, it is important to remember that not all of them make it to release. Apple has been known to delay features or cancel them entirely, so there's always a chance we may not see these new Safari features after all.

Along with Safari 18 and its associated improvements, we should also see a revamped Calculator with Math Notes make its way to iPadOS 18. Freeform Scenes and Adaptive Voice Shortcuts are new OS features, which are also expected to debut later this year.

Apple is expected to introduce various AI-related enhancements as part of iOS 18 and macOS 15, both of which should be announced at the company's annual WWDC on June 10.

"As for where Apple got the inspiration for Web Eraser, the company could have Sherlocked the feature from the third-party app 1Blocker. The application features a similar way of erasing ads, where users would tap ads to make them disappear." They may also have been inspired by Simplified Page....

As long as I can turn it off/hide it they can knock themselves out. 

Will the web eraser feature remove pop up videos, such as the ones that appear on this site?

I use the 'Reader' function in Safari quite a bit, but sometimes it doesn't work very well. Seems like something that AI could help make better. 

Web ads suck but how else do you think your favorite websites will stay in business? Are you prepared to pay a subscription to every site? I doubt it…

Safari search/location bar autocomplete EXTREMELY slow

A few months ago, I got an out of memory error and needed to restart my computer (M3 MacBook Pro November 2023).

Ever since then my Safari search/location bar autocomplete is broken and the popover does not appear (favourites, frequently visited, etc.)

After I type in the bar, the "return" key has no effect unless I have a full URL. I need to wait for autocomplete to trigger, which can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. It's so slow that I usually type google.com and input my search there.

The computer is fully responsive during this time.

If I go to ~/Library/Safari and delete AutoFillCorrections.db, AutoFillCorrections.db-shm and AutoFillCorrections.db-wal, the problem is solved INSTANTLY and it works perfectly for a little while, but after a few minutes or hours, the problem is back again.

Immediately after installing the Safari 12.1.2 update on this 10.13.6 High Sierra MBP, Safari suggested URLs are missing. AFAIK, I made no prefs changes. My home page has long been Google advanced search, and I've used the Google search engine.

[Gradually, as I wrote this question and tested multiple options for accuracy, a few of the Apple-suggested URLS began appearing.] Enter a 'short form' URL and press return, that quasi-URL is replaced with the Google Advanced search URL and otherwise ignored. Amazingly, even when a correctly-formed URL is entered, it too is ignored even though it's icon appears to the left of the search field as soon as the entry is complete. The full URL disappears, replaced with the Google advanced search URL, same way a new window opens... except none does. Selecting one of the Google-generated generic terms is like having typed that term directly into the Google web page "All these terms..." box. A search is returned.
